Bought this recently after my MP3 player, which was getting on a bit, just decided enough was enough and it was time to keel over and die (or stop working; however you want to put it).


Look and design


It's very light, and very small, but still very easy to use, there's no squinting for the buttons or accidentally pressing two at once. And it's reasonably good looking, it's not a head turner, but as music players are for personal entertainment more than for showing off value, as long as it's not a laughing stock, which it isn't, I'm fine with it.


Function


It's remarkably easy to use, even those who aren't very tech savvy shouldn't have much of a problem using this; it even has an automatic playlist generator to make playlists for you. It has really good sound quality as well as picture quality. It can play MP3 (music files) and MP4 (video files). It has a pretty impressive memory; the specs claim 4,000 songs or 60h video, which, averaged out, is 2000 songs and 30h video. I don't know about you, but I can't see myself using either. The battery life is also pretty impressive, it claims to last 40hrs on a straight run. I've been using it sparingly for about 2 weeks now without a need to recharge, just remember to turn it off.


Overall


A great music player with a reasonable price tag, well worth buying.

I can't see myself ever needing more space than this gives you.
